Dingbats (1987) – Classic Word Puzzle Board Game

Dingbats (1987) is a clever and entertaining board game where players race to the finish by solving visual word puzzles. Each puzzle is a disguised phrase or saying, known as a “Dingbat,” and the challenge lies in working out the hidden meaning before the timer runs out. Packed with laughter and “aha!” moments, it’s a fun game for families and friends who enjoy a test of wit and quick thinking.

How to Play
Players take turns rolling the dice and moving their counters along the board. Landing on a Dingbat space means drawing a card from the dispenser and solving the puzzle within the set time limit. Correct answers allow you to advance, while tricky “Diabolical Dingbats” add an extra challenge with tougher puzzles. Special board symbols can move you forward, backward, or sideways, keeping the game unpredictable and exciting. The first player to reach the finish square and correctly solve a final puzzle wins the game.

Why Rent
Dingbats is a fantastic choice for game nights, parties, or family gatherings. Its mix of wordplay, problem-solving, and fast-paced fun keeps everyone engaged, whether you’re a puzzle fan or just love a good laugh. With its simple rules and addictive challenges, Dingbats is a game that guarantees plenty of memorable moments and is sure to bring out everyone’s competitive side.
